Hasidism is a Jewish spiritual movement that emerged in the 18th century in Eastern Europe. It is based on the teachings of the Ba’al Shem Tov (Master of the Good Name), also known as Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, who lived from 1700 to 1760. Hasidism has had a profound impact on Jewish thought and practice, and has become one of the most popular and influential movements in Judaism.
